When Angel was nine months old an agent saw her in a restaurant and wanted to use her in a print ad. This was the start of her career. Angel appeared in numerous print ads and commercials as a child. At the age of nine she became the lead singer of Kid Power, a professional singing and dancing group, which performed around the world.

As Angel was turning eleven and still performing with Kid Power, she was offered her first record deal with Cherokee Records. At the time Angel's parents thought she was too young to sign the deal. About this time Angel started taking vocal lessons from Seth Riggs, best known for helping Michael Jackson, Barbara Streisand, Jennifer Lopez, etc. As a teenager, Angel joined the group No Secrets, and a few months later No Secrets was signed by Jive Records.
